Inside the world of a London media entrepreneur

ITV

So Katie Price, AKA Jordan, has upped and left I'm a Celebrity... because she got fed up with having to do Bush Tucker Trials.

ITV must have been licking their lips as tens of thousands of viewers spent their hard earned cash on phone votes, desperate to watch Katie put through the mill again in yet another disgusting bush tucker trial. They must be pretty fed up that she has left - although its likely she had a clause whereby ITV reduced her fee for walking out.

She's now back at the very lovely Versace Hotel, awaiting her boyfriend Alex Reid and no doubt beating away (for today) ludicrously large sums of money from the glossies to tell all about her "jungle hell".

When she was asked by a US based interviewer what she did recently, she couldn't really explain how she had become famous in the UK.

Well I think I know.

People love to see someone from an average background become successful. It makes them believe that anything is possible, and that their life could be magically transformed into a celebrity fairy tale. They are happy to buy products associated with a 'girl dun good'.

However, their own reality is very different. The same people that love celebrities then go and have a bad day at work, realise that nothing ever changes and, lo and behold, decide to cheer themselves up by hating a celebrity instead.

Its nice to let your frustrations out at somebody, especially when they look and act in an outrageous manner, and especially when you have zero chance of ever meeting them.

Its just like pantomime.

And its what has happened to Jordan.

What's funny is that she seems genuinely upset about her public and how they have turned against her.
